Emeritus Vineyards is a winery in Sebastopol, California, in the cool Green Valley region of the Russian River Valley. Its story began with the ridgetop land of Hallberg Ranch, and its vineyards are planted in distinctive Goldridge soil that allows dry farming. The estate works with two renowned vineyards, Hallberg Ranch and Pinot Hill, and produces Pinot Noirs. Emeritus was founded in 1999 by Brice Cutrer Jones, the same year he sold Sonoma-Cutrer Vineyards.

The Emeritus Vineyards story began with a remarkable ridgetop piece of land, Hallberg Ranch, in the cool Green Valley region of the Russian River Valley. The vineyards are planted in distinctive Goldridge soil, which allows the estate to dry farm its grapes, resulting in deep and enduring root structures that shape the character and complexity of its Pinot Noirs while allowing the grapes to achieve ideal ripeness at lower sugar levels. The cool, foggy climate of its two renowned vineyards, Hallberg Ranch and Pinot Hill, gives the wines their flavors and personalities. Emeritus was founded in 1999 by Brice Cutrer Jones, the same year he sold Sonoma-Cutrer Vineyards, the winery he had spent a quarter century building into one of California's most revered Chardonnay producers.

A Russian River Valley Pinot Noir producer whose wines are shaped by soil, climate, and people.
